Two children reading together in golden evening light

A worked example

Meet Freddie, our example little pirate

Freddie is invented, but you'll recognise a four-year-old who loves the high seas. This shows the kind of details parents share and the lullaby that follows.

Freddie

Four. Eye-patch at breakfast, walks the plank off the sofa, treasure map of the garden. First Mate Ted is his teddy.

  • Wears an eye-patch at breakfast
  • Walks the plank from the sofa
  • Has a garden treasure map
  • First Mate Ted is his trusty teddy

What his mum told us

Freddie is four and permanently a pirate: eye patch at breakfast, 'walk the plank' off the sofa, treasure map of the garden. His teddy is called First Mate Ted. We want the ship to sail home to harbour and drop anchor for the night, gently.

The sort of thing a mum might send us

Read the lyrics: Freddie's Gentle VoyageLullaby · Soft male voice · Pirates

Verse 1

Little pirate Freddie, put your sword away,The stars are out their lanterns now, to end your sailing day.First Mate Ted is yawning in the pocket of your coat,Time to sail for harbour on your sleepy little boat.

Refrain

Drift home, little ship, drift home,Freddie's sailing, safe to roam.Drop the anchor, soft and slow,Down, down where the calm winds blow.

Verse 2

The treasure map is folded up, the garden's tucked in too,The sofa waves have gone to sleep, and so should pirate you.Take off your patch now, Freddie, close your captain's eyes,The gentle sea will rock you as the moon begins to rise.

Refrain

Drift home, little ship, drift home,Freddie's sailing, safe to roam.Drop the anchor, soft and slow,Down, down where the calm winds blow.

Bridge

First Mate Ted is curled up tight,Beside his captain, snug and light.No storms tonight, just quiet seas,Just Freddie, drifting on the breeze.

Refrain

Drift home, little ship, drift home,Freddie's sailing, safe to roam.Drop the anchor, soft and slow,Down, down where the calm winds blow.

Outro

Harbour's here, the ship is still,Freddie's resting, safe and full.Sleep now, captain, day is done,Goodnight, Freddie, little one.

Freddie's lullaby came from his eye-patch, treasure map and First Mate Ted. Yours will be built from whatever your child loves.

What to tell us for a pirate lullaby

A few sentences are all we need. The tiny details make the voyage yours.

  1. Their pirate name or nickname

    Freddie, Captain, Little Buccaneer: the name that sails with them.

  2. Beloved pirate props

    Eye-patch, toy sword, treasure map, favourite ship: we turn them into verses.

  3. Special companions

    First Mate Ted, a plush parrot, or a secret treasure chest: they become gentle side-kicks.

  4. The bedtime journey

    Do they imagine sailing home, dropping anchor, or spotting stars? Let us know the ending you want.

What tonight could be

The moment the sails settle

A soft chorus drifts in as the ship finds its harbour.

The name drop

Their own name, sung in a calm voice, makes the eyes flutter and the heart slow.

The anchor sigh

The final verse drops the anchor, and the little one follows into sleep.

The nightly return

Soon the lullaby becomes the bedtime ritual they ask for night after night.

Ready before tomorrow's bedtime
